November to now

I forgot all about my blog :S so still with the same host family they are christian so I go with them to church every sunday, its not that bad cause there lots of foreigners there so i get a headset that translates the service into english. Now I can actually understand some japanese, which makes thing much easier! I have joined ontai which is dance club, I was part of their performance on the 23rd, but i had only been in the club for about 2 weeks so I only jumped in at the end :p
this week is test before winter break which starts 17th but Closing ceremony on the 24th so that the official last day.
Its getting colder here but no snow :(
